Gaining Respect: Becoming a Raid Leader

Gaining Respect:  Becoming a Raid Leader

About the only way to become a persistant raid leader that people follow is through respect. If you rag on others in /ooc, you'll get a lot fewer people following you. If you yell at people in your raid too much, they won't follow you.

Support other raids and do a good job, advise when needed, and help keep morale up and be encouraging to all (at least to those who deserve it). If you are getting stressed out (which will happen at times due to many factors.. stupidity and when the freeps are equal to or outnumber the creeps tends to do this), remember that it's a game and its for enjoyment. Winning isn't everything, having a good time while getting defeated is better than having a horrible raid experiance while winning. Last ditch heroic stands ARE fun even when you do get rolled in the end. There is always another battle in the future, the war isn't over yet!

If you help others have fun, a) you'll have a lot more fun yourself b) they'll be more willing to follow you, in or outside of a raid (/ooc is actually a good place to lead for those situations that don't require a raid). c) Freeps will die
